New development, apartments going cheap.

Anna and I were mulling over the Arab, or perhaps Emirati, predeliction for naming things, and particularly buildings, after themselves. In an effort to help Dubai's city townplanners and give a sense of ownership to one and all, Anna and I have come up with a name for a new development:

"Welcome to Pronoun City - Dubai's biggest development all about meeee! Within it's lush gardens and meandering walkways, find MY PLACE complete with floor to ceiling mirrors in and every apartment. Next door, YOUR RESIDENCE provides complimentary maid service allowing you to spend more time with you. Completed in the 2nd phase of the development, HER BUILDING (complete with undergrdound parking), HIS TOWER and THEIR APARTMENTS, none of which are as nice as the 1st phase since you don't want the Jones's keeping up with you."

I can see the confusion now explaining to your friends how to get there, and the frustration with taxis and deliveries. I'll let you enjoy going down that road by yourself.
